"No, Brother… you don't actually like Sister Qing'er, do you?"
Li Miao'er blinked her beautiful eyes, resting her chin on her brother's shoulder. Her two small hands were secreting beads of crystal-clear sweat.
Her cute, pretty face wore an utterly mischievous expression, as if saying: If you dare say yes, I'll make you understand what 'wrong' means.
"Meow, let's not talk about this. Go wash the bowls and get ready to eat."
Chen Yi frowned slightly. He didn't know how to choose. On one side was the cute, clingy little sister, and on the other was the gentle, considerate sister next door. Their feelings for him were blatantly obvious.
And both of them were so incredibly strong now. He couldn't beat them, not even once, and didn't even have a chance to run away from home.
If he chose Sister Miao, he might be beaten to death by Sister Qing'er.
If he chose Sister Qing'er, he might be bullied to tears by Sister Miao.
Maybe it's better to choose neither. That would avoid so much trouble.
"Hmph! Brother, who do you like—me or her?"
Li Miao'er tightened her grip on his arm. If she didn't get a satisfactory answer, she would definitely resort to forced bullying.
"Alright, alright. Brother likes you. Happy now?"
Chen Yi had no choice but to placate her. Deep down, he still thought it might be better to choose Sister Qing'er.
At least any future children wouldn't lack for milk… and Sister Miao would look even better if she developed for another couple of years.
"Hee hee~ Brother, I knew you liked me! Mwah~"
Li Miao'er happily planted a kiss on Chen Yi's cheek, then went off contentedly to wash the bowls.
Sigh… It's a good thing Sister Qing'er isn't here right now, or there'd be another fight. Chen Yi stared at the preserved pork in the pot and sighed inwardly.
He hated hearing people argue, especially friends and relatives, or those with close relationships.
I'd rather watch them throw punches than listen to them bicker.
Every time he heard the sound of an argument, his mood soured terribly, and he even had the urge to shove the quarreling parties to the ground and give them a good thrashing.
Too bad his current physique was too weak. If he had the strength to beat the "little brat cat," he'd educate both Sister Miao and Sister Qing'er until they were perfectly well-behaved.
"Meow, go get some braised pork knuckles and chicken feet. Just noodles are too bland," Chen Yi said with a smile, holding the bowl.
"Oh."
Li Miao'er pursed her lips, looking a bit unhappy, but obediently ran off to fetch the snacks.
Don't want to organize the snacks for that cow. Her moving in is just disgusting.
Haah— Yawn… Still a little sleepy.
Chen Yi rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, filled two large bowls of noodles for Sister Miao and Sister Qing'er, figuring he'd just eat whatever was left.
"Meow, where did Sister Qing'er go?"
Chen Yi accepted the chicken feet handed to him by Sister Meow and took a tentative bite. She'd eaten the fleshy palm part, leaving the already-skinny chicken feet even more boring.
"She's taking a bath. Brother, let's finish eating quickly and get a little more sleep."
Li Miao'er happily gnawed on a pork knuckle, a very satisfied expression on her cute little face.
"Mhm."
Chen Yi promptly tossed the chicken feet aside. The spicy ones are awful—no meat at all. Really unpalatable.
"It smells amazing! Xiao Yi, you're living the good life here."
Ye Qing'er ran over, grabbed a pack of pork knuckles, quickly tore it open, and began gnawing—even more ferociously than Sister Meow beside her.
Her black, jewel-like pupils were clear and bright, her curved willow-leaf eyebrows delicate, long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her fair, flawless skin glowed with a light, healthy pink.
Her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy. Her black hair was neither too long nor too short.
And the pair of impressive, snow-white "bunnies" on her chest seemed truly unforgettable at first glance.
Ye Qing'er wore a light-blue, off-the-shoulder tank top, revealing muscular yet fair shoulders. On the bottom, she had on a pair of light-white shorts, showcasing her slender, fair legs.
Paired with white sandals, the overall look was fresh and cool.
She's so beautiful… and her figure is even sexier than Meow'er's.
Chen Yi carefully admired Sister Qing'er's stunning appearance. She smiled and flexed her arm muscles, brimming with allure.
"Hmph! Brother! Eat!"
Li Miao'er's face was a mix of displeasure and anger. Her low, muffled grunt already showed she was furious, really wanting to rush over and give that cow a good beating.
"Eating, eating. Sister Qing'er, don't stand on ceremony, eat up. There's plenty of food at home."
Chen Yi smiled faintly, pushing the bowl of noodles in front of Sister Qing'er. She's even more beautiful than before… and more captivating.
Ye Qing'er nodded with a smile, glanced at the fuming Li Miao'er, and softly teased, "Meow, can you chew your meat a little quieter?"
"No! Why don't you go eat outside?!"
Li Miao'er viciously crunched the brittle bones in her mouth, channeling all her unhappiness into the pork knuckle. Just because your 'bunnies' are a bit bigger than mine, you have to strut around with your chest puffed out all the time? Aren't you tired?
"Hahaha~ Little brat cat, you're just no match for me~"
Ye Qing'er smiled smugly. No matter the era, I'll bully you as much as I want, you little kitten. And you still want to steal a man from me?
"Rraaah!"
Li Miao'er threw down the pork knuckle in her hand and charged over. She directly shoved Ye Qing'er to the ground, clenched her small fist and punched her twice, then delivered a fierce slap across her pretty face.
Thwack! "Ouch! That hurts!"
Ye Qing'er pushed away the little sister sitting on her, lay on the ground clutching her chest with a pained expression, and drew in a sharp breath through her reddened lips, looking utterly miserable.
"Meow! What are you doing?! Sister Qing'er, are you okay?"
Chen Yi hurried over and pulled Sister Meow back into his arms. He truly hadn't expected the two of them to suddenly start fighting.
"Hmph! Serves her right for bullying me before!"
The corners of Li Miao'er's mouth lifted slightly, the expression on her little face becoming much more comfortable. Let that 'Cow Qing' dare to show off. Next time, I'll punch her 'bunnies' flat!
"Sniffle… This brat cat hits so hard! Xiao Yi, it really hurts! Can you… rub it for me for a bit?"
Ye Qing'er blinked her beautiful, watery eyes, her pretty face adorned with an alluring blush, as if thinking of something unspeakable.
"Uh…"
Chen Yi pressed his thin lips together and pushed aside the troublesome Sister Meow clinging to him. He stood up and fetched a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray and some painkillers.
He didn't dare use his hands to rub it himself. Otherwise, the two of them would really go at it.
"Sister Qing'er, take a painkiller first, then spray on some Yunnan Baiyao. The pain should ease after a while."
Chen Yi smiled, handing the medicine to Sister Qing'er. He'd heard that an injury there for a woman was comparable to the worst pain a man could experience—though he didn't know if it was true.
"Brother, she brought it on herself. No need to give her medicine. She deserves the pain."
Li Miao'er pursed her lips, unhappy. She didn't want to see her brother caring for this cow. It was a truly awful feeling.
"Alright, alright. Eat your noodles quickly before they get cold."
Chen Yi sighed helplessly. He really wanted to educate both Sister Miao and Sister Qing'er, to teach them about solidarity and friendship. But he was also worried they might team up to bully him instead.
"Little brat cat, if you dare hit me there again, I'll make you understand what 'wrong' means!"
Ye Qing'er opened her tank top and sprayed the Yunnan Baiyao on the sore spot twice. Feeling the cool, stinging sensation, she really wanted to string up this little brat cat and give her a good thrashing.
